Filippo,
  I am not sure whether anyone contacted you about your question. I don't think that TRNSYS will run on a Mac OS unfortunately. TRNSYS uses an executable / dynamic link library structure, which is a Windows construct. Whether running TRNSYS on Virtual PC works or not, I cannot say. If anyone else has some experience with this, I would be glad to know of it.
Cheers,

David and the Trnsys users group, I don't know whether this message could be of any help...anyway: I succeed (very easily) in running Trnsys on a Mac.
Well it doesn't properly "run" on Mac, I would better say it "walks", since I run it through a Virtual PC application.
My PowerBook is 1.67 GHz G4 processor, with 1.5 GB ram. Let Virtual PC use 512 MB of RAM, Trnsys runs at a speed which is approx its speed in my previous old PC (700 MHz Intel P3, 256 MB ram).
Everything is ok with building/rebuilding the .dll in Compaq VF 6.6c, so having switched to Mac I can still work with Trnsys the same way I did with PC.

Cheers,
Filippo
